hmm. tough sell. I only use the ipad to browse gaf and occasionally read a book via Kindle. can't imagine throwing 500+ just to play xcom.
Yes, well, as long as it's just confined to a banner, and doesn't end up as an Arkham City-esque GOTY box art. I wonder if they're going to be dynamically updating that silly banner throughout the day as new reviews come in.
Yeah I took a shit ton of screens for the first 15 mins, but didn't post them due to wanting to avoid 'spoiling' anything
Nope, just jump into Infinite. As for the items, they're still can't be traded.

I think we should all post our own friends list and compare.
I can't see it at work, what does it say?
Can I edit Salsa's name and pretend it's my own? I don't want to feel alone

Maybe someone should put together a guide on how to do it!
It's a banner spanning the length of one and a half monitor heights, with 9/10, 10/10, 5/5 etc review scores from various gaming website, with some selected quotes.
I start?
Very unimpressive friend list
You lost the game
Everything on ultra + d3doverrider. This 7950 is marvelous!99% people plays new bioshock ?
Steam Friends List PC Performance Thread incoming.
Did they switch the @gamer and IGN quotes?
Haha, that's why you made the Arkham City GOTY comparison then. Dat beautiful artbox.
I belong to the 1%!!!99% people plays new bioshock ?
EDIT: I also double post from time to time. Guess I'm a rebel without a
I think I must be a masochist. Got Infinite on Steam and 360 and playing the but ugly version first. Still it's like your mother always used to say "Don't put you coat on indoors or you won't feel the benefit". Yeah I think my mum is more crazy than me.
Or as I used to say to my dopey sister. Rebel without a clue.

so Bioshock Infinite is pretty good I think.
He's playing probably the game of the generation. No fucks should be given about anything else!
The 360 wireless dongle I ordered from dealextreme finally arrived so I can use it with my old 360 pads, took a while but that free shipping was sweet considering the price it's sold at here. I can now retire the cheap controller I've been using and keep it around for the occasional local multiplayer. Thanks once again to kadotsu for suggesting it with a link pages ago.

There is a spoiler setting on screenshots so you could still post them and the person viewing them has to make sure they actually want to see it.
It's not all bad, It tells you how long ago it saved so that's okay.

I bought Bioshock Infinite with a $50 giftcard plus $9.99 from my credit card, but now Steam is showing that I have $50 in credit again. I don't know if Steam screwed up and charged the full thing to my card (can't check until I get home because I can't remember my bank user/pass) or whether they just accidentally gave me another $50, and if it's #2, what will happen should I try to spend it. :/

I bet valve gave you some sort of frequent steam user reward.
I agree, I am impressed.
I have some minor issues with the game design that are really annoying when it comes down to it.
This is one of the huge ones.
The checkpoints aren't exactly frequent, though. I had to replay a good 10 or so minutes when I erroneously assumed the game had saved when I was given a new objective, and I'm reasonably certain the next checkpoint was a further 10-15 minutes down the line.
Save it for Half-Life 3.

Check the email they sent you. It should tell you where the money came from.

Bleh, I just did that and it looks like they just charged the full thing to my card for some reason. Now I'm not going to be able to eat the rest of this month, THANKS STEAM!

Really enjoying the world of Bioshock Inf right now. I've been playing for about 45 minutes and I basically have only listened to random people on the street.
Dat Bloom though, whoa.
Dat Bloom though, whoa.
Ughhh I don't think I can manage to dirty myself with console versions anymore. Runs at about 20 fps and tears like Michael Owen's hamstrings despite being the first 360 game I've seen with an option to switch vsync on or off (doesn't do nowt for me).
I'm not by my box at the moment but how big was the install again? Was it really 30gb or was that the figure of how much space was needed and ended up being a lot smaller.
Hahahaha. Yeah I know but I've seen the error of my ways. Saying that spent way too much time with my 360 the other day finishing up Halo 3 because there was some rumors of a pc port in progress.
I made this joke about 3 pages ago but what the hell. You could say it's BLOOMing annoying. That and light shafts and fake lens flair (it looks like just a 2d texture) have filled the screen with way too many effects you can't see shit. Don't get me started on the sickening fov. Right that's it bollocks to my bandwidth I'm downloading it when I get in.

Caw blimey too slow on that Bioshock grab

Yes to both.
It feels weird to play this without manual saving. Or at least give me an option to suspend the game.
I am surprised how good the gunplay is. I guess they had years to improve it but it's ridiculous how much better than BioShock it is.
Haha, well played. I hadn't thought of that.
One day I'm going to get revenge for the Hitman Sniper Challenge bet. I still don't know when, or how. But if I were him, I'd be careful...

I wasn't even that good.
you know what sucks
im just waiting to get through an area, missing a voxaphone or something, and having no way to go back
I wouldn't dare call Infinite ugly, but I'm not sure how I feel about the art style as a whole. I felt that Bioshock 1's whole art deco/nautical/ruined civilization thing gelled together a lot better. Infinite kinda just jams together a several disparate elements and it doesn't work nearly as well. Maybe it's just me.
